The Robbins Family from Mississippi Discuss their Heirs' Property Issues

The Center for Heirs’ Property Preservation™ and the Mississippi Center for Justice announced on October 14th, the Mobile Basin Heirs’ Property Support Initiative, a two-year program designed to help historically underserved families in Mississippi protect and keep their forestland; build generational wealth; and promote productive, sustainably managed forests. With support from World Wildlife Fund and Kimberly-Clark, the new initiative provides a combination of legal services, information, and assistance accessing financial resources to help Mississippians resolve land title issues that disproportionately affect Black families and often lead to loss of land, wealth, and forest resources. This video, in partnership with the Mississippi Center for Justice, was produced for this event. It tells the story of the Robbins siblings. They discuss the heirs' property issue that is preventing them from developing their family land. Also featured is Mr. Frank Taylor of the Winston County Self-Help Cooperative, an organization dedicated to helping families like the Robbins maintain their land. The Mobile Basin Heirs’ Property Support Initiative will help families like the Robbins keep their land for future generations. (Photo Credit: Mississippi Center for Justice)
